"Know, my son! According to the testimony of many people who saw the incident, you own the Giran a desperate attack with a hard kick, and then be deflected by Giran. Defense is what makes your legs broken. Do you think it fend off fraudulent and wrong? "Said Datuk Limbatang.

Kukuban only paused at the question. Although in his heart to admit that what he said Datuk Limbatang is true, but because his heart was engulfed by a grudge, he still refused to accept it.

"It's up to Engku if it would defend their own children. But, Sani is our brother. I will not marry a child Engku Sani, "said Kukuban snapped.

For days the two lovers were thinking, but have not found a way out. Finally, they both agreed to meet at the usual place, ie in a field by the river, to discuss problems they are facing.

"What should we do, Sis?" Giran said.

"I dunno, Bang! Sister did not know what to do. All decisions in the family have on hand Bang sister Kukuban. While she is very hate and revenge to the brother, "said Sani long sigh.

Arriving at the edge of the crater, their eyes covered with black cloth. Before the sentence carried out, they were given the opportunity to speak.

"O you all, you know! We did not do anything illegal. Therefore, we believe are innocent, "Giran said.

After that, Giran second tilted his hand to heaven and prayed.

"Oh my God! We hear and grant our prayers. If we are truly innocent, destroy our bodies in the water this hot volcanic crater. However, if we are not guilty, and curse this mountain letuskanlah Bujang Nine to fish! "

After the prayer, Giran and Sani immediately jump into the crater. Both were drowned in the water of the crater. Some people who witnessed the event was overwhelmed by the sense of tension and anxiety. If Giran is really not guilty and his prayer was granted, then they will all perish. It was true. Giran request is granted by God. A few moments later, the mountain shook and suddenly a very loud explosion followed. Too hot lava gushing out of the crater, flowing toward the village and destroy all in its path. Everyone's trying to save themselves. However, the unfortunate fate. The eruption of the Mountain Tinjau gathering strength until the mountain was devastated. No one who survived. Nine single was transformed into a fish.
